Personal Domino Setup Series: Part 2

Hello everyone!  

I'm back with section two and three of my planner! This is the most used section of my Domino since it contains my monthly and weekly diary pages! So lets just jump right in. 

Section two is my monthly planning section. For this section I am using the month on two page (SNR) inserts from Piaric. These planner pages are amazing! I will not purchase from anyone other than Piaric from now on. Anyway that is for another post, I plan to do a review of those pages separately! So stay tuned for that :)

Section two is sort of plain. I don't really decorate my pages with washi tape or stickers anymore (don't get me wrong I think it looks amazing but not when I do it haha). I love the look of my inserts and I kind of like how plain they are. My coloured pens and the stamps I use on them definitely make my pages decorative enough for me. 

When you open this section the first page is just the Piaric 2014 Monthly Planner cover page.

I got these inserts the second week into June so the months before are blank. I use these pages for things such as due dates, exams/quizzes, appointments, meetings, and some birthdays.

Basically I check these at the beginning of the week to see what I have coming up for the next two weeks. The colour coding on these pages match the colour coding on my weekly pages. The clear page in between is something that came in a index card box as a divider I just hole punched it and put some washi at the top to make it easier to find the month I am on. I could have used one of my extra Filofax rulers but I found this was much less bulkier.

On my monthly pages I am starting to try using a stamp such as a heart shaped check box or a star shaped one to mark important days. The only other stamps I would use here is to bring my attention to that day such as the no school stamp.

At the end of this section I have a colour code page for my page flags. I write things that the date may change for (like when an assignment is due at school) on these. That way if these things change I can move the flag and not have to mess up my planner pages with scratches and white out, etc. On the back of this page there is a colour code for my Martha Stewart dew drops but I don't find I am using them as much lately. So I need to get back in to doing that.

Section three is my weekly planning pages. This is the section I spend the majority of the time looking at. Sometimes I use the individual check boxes for each item I need to complete (especially on days that are busier because the actual list it stamp would take up too much of the day. However, on a day where I only have five or six things to do I love to use the actually list stamp. All the stamps used in this planner are from Studio L2E. Seriously my favourite stamps ever. I can't figure out how I managed without them haha, since now I reach for them every time I am planning out my day or week.

In this photo you can see how I make use of the sticky flags and the individual to do check box stamps. I also tried out the hydrate stamp, but I didn't get into using this until two weeks later.

For the week of June 16 to 22 I really began to experiment with the stamp set (this was the first full week I had the set). Here you can see that I tried out the individual check boxes, which you can see work well for days like the 16th. On the 20th since I didn't need to write too much I tried out the list stamp, which I love. This is also the week that I really used the hydrate stamp.

This week is mostly a break from school so there is not much done with it yet. I just put a list of things to get done over my break and used my hydrate stamp. Since I am using the personal size I was thinking of maybe putting a journaling card in between the weeks to record my water intake for the week if I find the stamp is getting in the way of writing, but for now I think I will be sticking with this!

Also the Today bookmark is from Daytimer in case anyone was wondering.

So that is all for this post. I will be back with my other sections in a few days. Also I am planning on doing a review of the Piaric inserts, and I will also do an unboxing of my new personal size PATENT NUDE ORIGINAL when it arrives!!! SO EXCITED!!! As always thank you so much for reading, if you liked this post please follow and share with friends!
